Wholly shit!! $20 in 2 hours. Is that net or gross?

^^^
That's pretty gross.

 

[Uber-Doober]

This is almost identical to my story!

Except in mine, the $20 went towards the $110 new tire after debris in the street punctured my sidewall... oh, pax rated me a 1 for delayed/incomplete trip, left their half full Starbucks cup on its side spilled on my carpet, and while I didn't get to hit any free golf balls... the sensation I had was close -- like getting hit in the balls.

Uber-unicorns Sweetpea!

^^^
LMAO!

Well 20.00 x 7 = 140.00 a week OMG that life changing dough this is
kinda reason the surge is getting killed most of the time drivers hitting the
road just for the heck of it!............

 

[Instyle]

That is exactly what I did. I drove the downtown lunch hour from 12-2 and made over $20 just like that. Very busy with office workers using Uber to go to lunch and back.

After that, I went to Top Golf. It was almost like I was hitting free balls with the extra money I made!

Now that's what I call making the system work for me

Just a question, what do you value your time at? Time is the most value asset you have, it's limited can't be purchased and is not replaceable! In addition many people forget running a vehicle is expensive, maybe not today but collectively fuel, maintenance and increased depreciation.

Less assume you took $6.50 - 7.00 per hour after expenses, can I hire you for $10 an hour?

There seem to be a lot of complaints here on this forum. I just wanted to share my day today.

I wasn't planning on driving because I was scheduled to work my other job (server). My boss sent me home during the lunch shift because it was slow. I marched right out of there and said you know what - I'm gonna turn on the Uber app.

10 bucks an hour eh? before or after ubers cut? how much gas did ya blow? lets say likely 2 gallons.. So from your 20 bucks you now have 15... wear and tear? ok.. so maybe you made 14.. take out taxes and we'll call it 10 bucks.. so 5 dollars an hour. One tip at work during lunch would have put that 5 bucks in your pocket.

Now tell your Boss at Uber you need to come up with better BS stories would ya? The current ones suck.

I know it's hard to stay positive with vomit in your car but you have to. Remember, you are the owner of your own business and your own boss. Take charge of your success.

so I can bill the hell out of the customer who trashed my car???

oh wait.. can't do that... Uber will deactivate me. We are not our own boss when it comes to uber.

That's great for you. UBER advertises LIFE CHANGING money. If $20 bucks works for you for 2 hours time, then so be it. This is a good supplemental income job. However many partners are all in with UBER and we need to make $15 hr plus net to make it.

Exactly ZERO full time UberX drivers make $15+ per hour net on a weekly basis.

Honest question.. less than or more than? (suspect less)

 

[UberBlackDriverLA]

Less than. Haha. The vast majority about half that.

 

[merkurfan]

Less than. Haha. The vast majority about half that.

averaged less than as well. One of the reasons I said heck no. Now uber is bugging me because I had a 4.94 rating and they "need" me. In my IT industry when some one "needs" me they step up to the plate with an open checkbook. Not uber. the shitty driver gets the same money.

Is this post for real or are you trying to be sarcastic? You come to the complaint section to tell folks not to complain and you give us that story? Joke, right?

 

[LA#1x3]

Lawdamercy: GAS IS NOT YOUR ONLY EXPENSE!

You need to know your cost per mile (in maintenance, depreciation, fuel, etc). And you need to track mileage while driving (both paid and dead miles). If you buy mints and water, you need to factor those things in, too.

 

[Realityshark]

Never deduct gasoline: Cars run on gas so you'd need gas anyway.

Never deduct mileage: Cars are made to be driven so you'd put those miles on your car regardless.
